How many of you have had Mobil 1 put back in on your A service, if you were barmy enough to go to a Merc Dealer ???

I booked the Coupe in, as I don't have time to go to an Indie, and they are charging me Â£21 more, for the oil stated in the manual .... bringing it in over Â£210 !!!! :( I feel an Email to DCUK coming on !!!

A Mitsi Evo VII was cheaper than this !!!

Roll on an Indie near me ....

Email Sent, Bet I don't get a reply !!!

I did comment that they were looking to break a record with the most expensive 'A' Service in History, but apparently it's the overheads ... so that's o.k then ...;)

Wooo Hooo, A reply !!!

The Offical Line from Smart Customer service is that they recommend Mobil-1 oil, 10w-40 and that they have a recommended price for servicing, but have no control on the Local Merc Dealerships Labour costs.

They asked if I wanted to register as a complaint, which I think everyone should.. These cars are sold as being cheap to run ... not at Â£211 an A service they are'nt !!!

Will update as soon as I get one !!

Service was carried out on monday .... Took 4 Hours !!! I did wonder if they were actually stripping it down and re-building !!!

They dropped the Â£34 extra charge for the Mobil-1, so making the grand total of Â£189. I had a letter confirming this today....

I won't be back ... I can go to Cambridge and back, pay for fuel and running costs and the service, and still be cheaper than that !!!:rolleyes:

But my moral stands, if you don't like it, complain .. MB were happy enough to take our money when we were buying, pity they still want a bit more every year !!!
